Upton's Light Bulb Ban

20. Energy Policy HR 3221 (Roll Call 832). The House passed legislation regulating lights and appliances (including a ban on the incandescent light bulb), creating new programs for alternative energy sources, imposing more regulations on energy companies and mandating vastly increased use of “renewable” energy. ACU opposed this extension of governmental authority over the economy, but it was adopted August 4, 2007 by a vote of 241-172.TOP
